The Miami Heat completely dominated the Boston Celtics to take Game 3 and the 3-0 series lead as well. The Heat are just one game away from making another NBA Finals appearance. But one hilarious ordeal happened on the sidelines during the game between the Celtics and the Heat. The Inside the NBA crew continued with its shenanigans as Charles Barkley seemed ready to make things physical with co-host Shaquille O’Neal.

The back and forth between Chuck and Shaq has become a norm by now. Recently, Barkley roasted Shaq when he got a blast from the past from a Celtics fan a couple of days ago. And now, Sir Charles was ready to fight the 7’1 big man. 

Charles Barkley was ready to bring the heat to Shaquille O’Neal

The Miami Heat made this a runaway game straight from tipoff. The game ended with a final score of 128-102. Numerous players who usually don’t lead the team in scoring came up big. Gabe Vincent led all scorers with 29 points while Jimmy Butler had just 16 points in the blowout win.

As for the Celtics, the star tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown may have had their most disappointing performances of the playoffs so far. But what fans found even more amusing was the interaction between the two co-hosts of Inside the NBA.

The Inside guys were in attendance for Game 3 between the Celtics and the Heat. There was a moment when Shaq and Chuck were walking back to their seats and the Los Angeles Lakers legend shoved Barkley in the other direction.

The two eventually went back to their seats, but had a few exchanges of words with each other. It is still unclear as to what Shaq said, but it immediately caused the Philadelphia 76ers legend to raise his arms in preparation for a fight. As soon as Barkley got ready to throw hands, O’Neal couldn’t help but laugh it off. This was just an addition to their long list of hilarious moments, including the time when Shaq, who had just returned from a hip surgery, wanted to race Barkley.

This comes just a couple of days after things seemed to be getting serious between the two due to a disagreement. Barkley was ready to hit O’Neal after the 4x NBA champion interrupted the Chuckster continuously. However, things cooled down, and they were able to laugh it off as usual.

A runaway game from the start

The star duo of Boston severely underperformed in Game 3. Both stars combined for a total of 26 points. Tatum had 14 points while Brown only finished with 12 points for the game. As for the Heat, Gabe Vincent finished the game with a career-high 29 points on a magnificent 79% shooting from the field.
